Borbonese 101


I just received by e-mail that a new selection of Italian brand Borbonese have arrived in Villa Moda Shuwaikh, I’ve never heard of this brand before so when I looked it up online, I was surprised to find out that the brand has a long history. Originally, they started making luggage in the late 1800's, but have recently branched out to include RTW and handbags. Several seasons back Italian designer Allessandro Dell'acqua, who is more famous for his own label, designed for them.

In celebration of its first centenary, the brand collaborated with Roy Lichtenstein Foundation to create a new project: the Art Bags (last 2 photos), twelve bags produced in limited edition that reproduces some of the pop artist’s masterpieces shown at the exhibition at the Triennale di Milano.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.
